First anime-figure purchases of 2013

Actually I bought these guys before Christmas but retrieved them from the post office right at the start of 2013, so don't they still count as firsts of this year? :3

So, without further a do, this is Figma Kiritsugu Emiya, from Fate/Zero light novel and anime-series. I've not read the books, nor have I watched the anime, but I liked the character design. And hey! A rare male Figma character, so what's not to like? :3

This time I've used a tri-pod to see if it has any effect on the picture quality. I had to return the better camera I borrowed and am now using my own, older and crappier camera, however... -__-;; What do you think?

Loving those little cigarettes... but at the same time, I'm really nervous that they will eventually be lost forever. small as they are. And being lost sooner or later is the fate of all the tiny little things. That's what I learned when I was a kid.
Once I lost a little fox toy (from Disney's the Fox and the Hound - movie.) that was very dear to me, when I was about 5 years old. I was very sad and eventually started thinking that I didn't even have the fox to begin with, that I had only wanted to have one so much, enough to have imagined that I owned one.
Twenty years later the little fox was found from a locker on the side of a table on which I used to play with my toys often.:--D
---so If I lost one of these parts, I'd probably find them when I'm over 50 years old...

And finally Kiritsugu Emiya is freed from the confines of his box... he goes straight to testing his changeable hands and loading his gun. And smoking his cigarette (careful, fon't drop it, now, Kiritsugu! That thing was a pain fit in your mouth! With the tips of my fingernails...)
I was surprised that they had included a special Figma-labeled plastic bag for the safe-keeping of all the little pits and pieces. The worry for figure-parts going missing seems to be a global and universal concern. :3

I still like his pensive, smoking face the best. It's also notable that the sculpting and joints on his coat allow very cool posing~ :3 It's a new thing to me that the add joints to the clothes now too..

It's an unwritten rule that whenever a figure or a doll has fists, it must be posed in the Neko Nyaaaan!-pose!
Kiritsugu Emiya: "This is embarrassing but, NYaaaaaan!"
Spica: "Oh, he has stubble too~ :3 How cute~ Me likes!!"

After I noticed Kiritsugu's stubble I just had to take a pic of Bram and him together~ Ojisans~ <3 I should take a group-pic of my middle-aged man collection some time. x3
Here you can also see the size-comparison between a Figma and a 73 cm BJD. Kiritsugu looks like fairy. X''D
...or a BJD for a BJD.

...one of her pig-tails fell off straight from the package... ;___; Or actually the little nib that holds the pig-tail on its place broke in half. I shouldn't have used so much power while trying to put the pig-tail back in its place.
Oh well, luckily my dad had glue used for models, so here she is, waiting for the glue to dry and hold that nib in its place.
Aw, Blacky, don't cry. It's going to be OK.
I could have asked for a refund or change her, but I feel sorry for her. :--D
